The US should start by defending LGBTQ rights in its own country first. They're not doing too great on that front lately.

[–] know_your_place@eviltoast.org 35 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm LGBT. The US better stay in its fucking lane.

I'm sick and tired of US overreach and I hope everyone who ever voted for or organised any military operation from the US suddenly dies of cardiac arrest in the most painful way possible.

Same here. I'm sitting here thinking, wait a minute yet another way for us to police the entire f****** world?

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 8 points 1 day ago

Same. I'm bi, and while I appreciate the idea/intent behind this move... I fully agree with you. We don't need the US to be policing anything beyond its borders, especially after they've proven to be an unreliable ally on literally anything and everything.

Yay pink washing American imperialism by a country that's eroding gay rights.

Typical American exceptionalism to believe that they should get to be the arbiter of right and wrong, when they do little else but get things wrong. Imagine the U.S. trying to bring "democracy" to other countries? Oh, wait...

cant wait for america to invade algeria because ~~they found oil~~ they are homophobic, but saudi arabia "somehow" gets a pass

I feel like if this passed we would end up using it as a free pass to nuke certain countries that we (not me, but you know) wanted to nuke anyway.

Right, killing countless LGBT

[–] pticrix@lemmy.ca 2 points 21 hours ago

yes but saving billions of future lgbtq+ people! It's called effective altruism!

Tap for spoilerkappa

The defense of LGBTQ+ rights is in decline in the U.S, so the bill's only propose is for this headline. I guess gay politicans can be just as uselessly proformative as straight ones.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's about forcing politicians to openly state which side of the discussion they're on.

[–] TacoSocks@infosec.pub 1 points 11 hours ago

Republicans control the house, they won't bring it up for vote.

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Don't need worldwide, just USA. Like the military for example.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 7 points 1 day ago

Fortunately Trump is too homophobic to pass this.
